We all get salty after losing a match but how do you control it? Lately I've been getting super salty at my losses and blame everything but my bad play. Feels like I'm turning into LTG. Need help before it's too late.
As shitty as it is when you lose. Remember to learn from each loss and improve from there

Ya need to know match ups with your best character. Change play styles according to said character. That's how I got better with using hakan in street fighter 4

Simple:
1. Don't listen to low tier fraud
2. Learn why you lost and practice

>>335085489
This.
If you get angry and turn into a salt mine, your next matches will be even harder and more frustrating. I've never met a person who played better because they got angry. Getting angry makes you do stupid plays and good players will take advantage and shut you down.
>Have a friend who is good at fighting games but I'm better
>There was a time when we were younger where he used to beat my ass a lot because I never used to care about fighting games, but ever since Tekken 4 and Street Fighter 3 I've been really into them and started getting good
>Usually stomp his ass at any game we play, if we do sets it usually ends up 80>20
>He still acts like the hottest shit
>One night I absolutely shut him down in KOF13 and beat him 50 times in a row
>He still talks shit like he didn't lose
As long as you aren't that guy OP, you're not that far gone yet.
>>335084650
i get really salty but i only blame myself, then i get depressed. thats why i cant play any fighting game for more than 30 minutes at a time
>>335087646
also i know that my losses aren't contributing to improving my overall skill level because i simply don't play often enough, partially because i have no friends of a similar skill level to play with, or any friends who play fighting games, or any friends for that matter
>>335087850
Sometimes you can't get better fighting your friends. I have a buddy I've been playing with since SFIVAE and we have opposite philosophies in terms of fighting. No matter how many times we fight, he's fire and I'm ice.
If you're looking for a training partner, I'm more than happy to play with you. I'm practicing for a local tournament, and I need as much fightan as I can get.
If you're interested, we can talk.
Am I the only one who thought for a second that that dude was wearing an m less shirt?

No "we" don't. Speak for yourself, faggio
Try you best to learn from your mistakes and don't let shit get to you too much. Try to pinpoint why you're losing and work on avoiding the same mistakes. You'll find that sometimes you have a bad habit and you'll have to keep playing and work to remove it.
For example, I get nervous very often when I know I shouldn't and press buttons during blockstrings because I'm afraid of getting mixed up. This sometimes leads right into counterhits which is actually worse because in most games counter hits do more damage and increase hitstun.
Also, it's best to avoid playing tired or impaired in any form, because in that case you're just asking to get bodied and frustrated because your reactions and decision making are most likely going to be off.

By realizing online matches don't mean anything.

Play him in a game that has rules

>lol people still play l4d2?
>decimate enemy team
>they catch on
>my team does nothing or reacts too slowly
i mean is it really my fault? i can only aim so well and eventually i will get caught.
>>335090894
i forget which direction is left and which is right under any amount of pressure irl all the time so i dont think i have much of a chance with fighting games
between forgetting the controls, forgetting the combos, having a successful combo/super execution rate of about 30%, and being unable to do ANY combos when im on the right side of the screen i just dont think im cut out for it
>>335084650
Realize that there is always gonna be somebody better than you at any type of game. No matter how good you are.
>>335086859
That's Poongko gimmick tho and it has a great success rate on wins
Talking about getting better online, how do you get better offline? I turn into a nervous, jittery wreck when I feel people watching
>>335084650
I always play to improve rather than play to win unless you're playing for money or something. It makes you feel way less salty when you lose
im a sicko masochist so i enjoy losing as its a way to validate all the terrible things i think about myself, and an opportunity to wallow in even greater depths of self loathing and pity
laugh at your mistakes and own them in the moment. When you deny that something is going wrong until you are just about to lose it feels more crushing, recognizing mistakes and greedy plays for what they are allows you to judge your own performance from a more neutral perspective.
>starting up a fighting game
This is going to be so much fun. Can't wait to try my mains!
>30 minutes into online play
FUCK THIS GAY EARTH I HOPE YOU CHOKE ON A BARBED DILDO YOU FUCKING FAGGOT
Every time.
>>335090469
When your demon beats you with your own main there's isn't much worse.
>>335093225
fucking mirror matches. They shouldn't be allowed in online play if nothing else becauseit's so fucking depressing when you lose a mirror match
>>335084650
Remember that it's just a game, the point is to have fun, not win.
In terms of getting better, you could try spectating a match or watch a video of how the good players play, you might learn something. But of course the best way to get better is to just play.

Well, I'm not a fucking third world nigger or American, so I don't chimp out when I lose a video game.
>>335084650
take a break, watch your replays to see what you did wrong. if you got friends that play around your level or above you, have them watch your replays and see if they can give you any advice.
>>335084650
as people have been saying its a mindset, watch replays etc. if I had any advice try and have something to drink while you play, when I participate in tournys it helps to drink water or something to get your mind off all the little things that pile up while you play.
>>335093316
Remember that a mirror match is its own matchup, everyone has a matchup they suck at, he could know the matchup better than you but that doesn't mean you can't learn it too, believe in yourself.I believe in you anon

Rage quitting cry baby with so many insecurity issues he turns to torturing animals to compensate. Also he got burned hard by some Cuban
>Popular

>Funny
For all the wrong reasons
>Authoritative
Oh, you mean like when he displayed mistreatment of his girlfriend?
>Relentless
Relentless faggot, that is true.
Come on, update your bait a little bit.
I only get a bit mad when bad connections are involved and I just have to endure it. Then I just kind of stop if I'm still mad after cause video games are for fun.
I used to be pretty bad though and basically felt like I was entitled to a win, but then i stopped being a salty scrub and improved my attitude and actually got better as a result.
>>335084650
>How do you get less salty in fighting games
I just stopped playing them, every community feels like crap that seeks to suck the fun out of everything and I don't care much to memorize my opponents i-frame rate for certain attacks and shit
I stick mainly to MMO's, RPG's and shooting game's now, RTS and MOBAS are autistic no fun allowed time management games so I avoid those at all costThis is just my opinion, I'm not telling you how you should live your life but consider this an option
There's a difference in being so passionate about the game that you get mad at yourself for how you're performing, then there's the LTG/DSP side where you're just being a malicious human being and blaming everything on the game or your opponent.

flipside-ish story:
>Have a friend who's a nintendo diehard fanboy
>Only owns a n3DS/WiiU
>He adamantly refuses to play any game thats not smash or pokken
>Wont hang out unless we're playing one of those games
>Will sit alone playing matches [and taking up one of the tv's] begging people to play with him
>Shit talks and 'wrecks' people when they finally do play because no one owns a WiiU or plays smash/pokken as much as him
>Be me, dont enjoy playing either of them
>Be me, not a huge nintendo fan since gamecube era
>Be me, can barely play multiplayer pokken because its 30fps while the games single player is all at 60fps and thats the only time i learned the convoluted rock paper scissors system
>Me: "Nah, don't feel like playing"
>Faggot: "Just play man, or do you suck?"
>Me: "I don't own nor play the game, so yes I'm not good at it, I also don't have fun playing it so have no desire to get better at it"
>Faggot: "ramble ramble ramble"
god damnit, the fact that nintendo has stranded WiiU owners with only repetitive online multiplayer games has filled their community with such competitive fuckboys.

>>335093507
The fuck? My win percentage is 82. How bad are you?
Its either I get really salty or hold it in and it manifests into a defeatist mentality that makes playing the game not fun or entertaining.
I don't mind losing but its just losing bad that really gets me. Like playing anime fighters and eating 10 second 50% combos because fuck me for pressing a button or I can block and get opened up like a can of boyardee with the EZ open top and get fucked with IADs and ambiguous shit.
>>335084650
As long as the fight could have gone either way, I'm satisfied. If I just get bodied every round it's a clear sign I need to get back into training mode before I fight another human
I'll be that monkey.
>>335084650
I rage hard at SFV, but I've been getting some Melty matches in while it's alive for the next 30 seconds, and I don't get mad at all, despite being worse and understanding less about the game. I wonder what it is about Street Fighter, because USF4 was the same.
